This tale returns to the principle that it is your imagination that must do the weight lifting. Do a Poe story next.<br />-BRIAN O&#39;CONNELLBrian OConnellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17149523071142669242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-71624431635071419702009-09-01T11:38:41.713-04:002009-09-01T11:38:41.713-04:00Strange how no one has ever attempted to film any ...Strange how no one has ever attempted to film any of Lovecraft&#39;s Cthulhu mythos, at least since the silent era.B-Solhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10717121313061173603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-13799590123938188252009-09-01T06:48:11.698-04:002009-09-01T06:48:11.698-04:00Say kiddo...&quot;Colour...&quot; was done in mthe...Say kiddo...&quot;Colour...&quot; was done in mthe late &#39;50&#39;s with Boris Karloff.

Fortunatly Lovecraft seems to be successful enough today to warrant a lot of new editions like the compete Lovecraft by Gollancz for instance. <br /><br />&quot;Colour&quot; is one of his best. It is quite eerie how many topics this tale has which only became relevant in the last decades.AndyDeckerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12806906746754478064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-87051388076794216072009-08-31T21:12:48.287-04:002009-08-31T21:12:48.287-04:00This posting is beautiful and also interesting.

It was called the curse came out in the mid 80&#39;s. and next to gordon&#39;s demented takes on lovecraft, was one of the better adaptions to film. It has been years since I saw this film but I recall it was very close to the original story. You should look it up.eAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-61350998702343843242009-08-31T14:22:14.505-04:002009-08-31T14:22:14.505-04:00Nice review.

Lovecraft has always been a favorite of mine and this is definitely one of his best. &#39;The Outsider&#39; is my personal favorite.<br /><br />As much as I love Re-animator, no one&#39;s done Lovecraft&#39;s ancient gods and monsters justice yet. Let&#39;s hope Guillermo del Toro can finally give us a quality Lovecraft film in &#39;At the Mountains of Madness&#39;, if he can ever fit it into his crazy schedule.Marty Thornleyhttp://martythornley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-3037037059054657052009-08-31T09:20:18.058-04:002009-08-31T09:20:18.058-04:00It&#39;s true, this is a great H.P.

There&#39;s always a great number of quotable sentences in his work.<br /><br />My favorite, I think, is &quot;The Rats in the Walls.&quot; I&#39;m not sure why though.Rynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00350692916090777986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470604276410220159.post-81881532061398119052009-08-31T00:06:20.260-04:002009-08-31T00:06:20.260-04:00HPL&#39;s creations actually had a major influence...HPL&#39;s creations actually had a major influence on my own writing. Nyarlathotep plays a huge role in my forthcoming book. While my writing style is closer to Stephen King than to Lovecraft, and while I try not to be a copycat, I enjoy paying homage to those who influenced me. I&#39;m currently re-reading Lovecraft because to be honest, I haven&#39;t read most of his works in 20-25 years.<br />Another great writer that most people don&#39;t think about is Ambrose Bierce. Everyone knows about &quot;An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge&quot; but he wrote many stories at least that good and some even better that no-one knows about.<br />You might enjoy http://bitterbierce.blogspot.comLily Strangehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05779107279394475454noreply@blogger.com
